Wow - how could anyone let her go?
She's lovely.
And I see you are able to take in new cats with no bother... unlike me. We still have Mia and Diz on separate shifts in this house, because of the spitting and yowling. In the New Year we're putting them in the same room while one is in the cat carrier to try and progress things.

Still, they both seem happy in their separate but equal world.

I was very sorry to see the state of my sister's cat on Boxing Day. Very sorry - if I had any kind of relationship with her at all I would have spoken up. He is painfully thin. When you stroke him you feel every single bone in his back, his hips, even his face. He can no longer groom himself, they have to do it for him. He walks like he's walking on knives. Last month he spent as much time at the vet as he did at home.

I hate to see cats kept alive only for the sake of the family. He's 18 years old, he deserves to die peacefully. Sigh.

At least he presumably had a loving and stable family for a long time. There is a lot to be said for that.

True - they have always cared very well for him.

This is sorta OT, but kinda goes along with what SG is talkin about:
My aunt rescued a little dog recently. Ridiculously old creature, but she saved it, took it to the vet and got it the necessary surgery. Now we all know that those vet bills can be quite hefty.
My 2nd cousin, her grandson, who lives with her, was sick for days before they took him into the hospital. Why did they wait so long? Because they didn't have the money for a doctor. He is seriously ill with fluid on his lungs and they think he has pneumonia.
So her 7yr old grandchild had to wait to get medical care until he was in critical condition because they didn't have the money for a doctor. Yet, she rescued an old ass dog and spent atleast a thousand on surgery for it. Albeit she rescued the dog a week before her granchild got sick, but when the kid got sick she didn't have the money for him because she'd spent it all on a dog.

Where is the child's parents - not that it really matters.

Dennis got big!

Nice pussy! :D

Awwww, he's awesome! He looks like he has so much personality. I love kittehs!

haha! that is so funny. He's posing, 'cause he knows how beeyootiful he is!

He's a gorgeous cat.
I'll have to round up my little stinker for another shot.
Half the size and nowhere near as aristocratic - but just as loved I'll warrant.

Oh, that's funny... he's only about 3/4 the size of Banzai, I think of him as little. Which is good, because he loves to be held.

He is stunning. What a regal looking cat. You could believe him as the embodiment of an Egyptian God.

I wuv him noes, and want to kiss him on him noes!

He'll cut you man
